I have 7 gun dealers within a 9 mi. radius. They will beat big stores prices. Hell, one old dude gives me 10% off on purchase, and 15% off on any smithing that needs to be done. And, they all are Pro 2A. Keep my $$ local, well, except for CM, but, it's still in the family.
I joined the buyers club while buying a Ruger precision rimfire. The discount and $25 gift card I received paid for a 3 year membership. No brainer to me and we only go occasionally. Superb service and prices. Beats the crap out of the old Gander Mountain. A+ from Goodcat
